| Why
They
Don't Hate Us:
Lifting the Veil
on the "Axis of
Evil"
|
| by: M
ark
LeVine |
|
In this
ground-breaking
exploration of the roots of the conflict between the US and the
Muslim World, LeVine argues that the notion that most Muslims
hate
the US and the West is a fabrication used to help
fundamentalists on
both sides to maintain political, economic or cultural power.
Offering a critique of those central to the branding of Islam
as a
source of violence and backward-thinking, LeVine contests the
apread
of what he calls an Axis of Arrogance and Ignorance by
advocating an
Axis of Empathy as the only strategy that can bring about a
long-term solution. |

In this remarkable
book,
Adonis, one of the Arab world's greatest living poets, explores
the
peculiar convergence of ideas running through Sufism and
Surrealism.
While at first appearing to be in polar opposition, convincing
parallels are drawn between these spiritual and
aesthetic/atheistic
movements. Adonis contests that atheism does not necessarily
imply a
rejection of Sufism, just as Sufism does not necessarily imply
a
belief in a traditional religion or faith. Both are related to
the
metaphysical, and both seek to say what has not been said, to
know
what has not been known. Sufis and Surrealists are engaged in
parallel quests for the hidden in existence, seeking the
resolution
of contradictions on a higher plane - through deregulation of
the
senses and holy madness. Traditional religion, science, law can
only
provide so many answers. Sufism and Surrealism strive towards
the
'un-sayable', towards a oneness that is, in Adonis' words,
'outside
the bounds of religion ... the infinite.'

From the Big Bang to
the
Theory of Everything, Sunday Telegraph Science Correspondent
Robert
Matthews takes us on a tour of twenty-five of the biggest ideas
in
modern science. Along the way, he explains how the theory that
proved Einstein wrong might one day make teleportation
possible, how
the principles of mathematics could be used to broker peace
treaties, and why the key to understanding some of the deepest
mysteries of the universe could be linked to the barcode on
your
groceries. The book also covers the major personalities in the
history of science, from World War Two code breaker Alan Turing
and
his test for artificial intelligence to modern scientists and
theories such as Richard Dawkins, the selfish gene, Stephen
Hawking
and quantum mechanics. With glossaries of key terms and a
timeline
charting the key discoveries and milestones, this entertaining
guide
to the cutting edge of science also includes chapters on the
nature
vs nurture debate, plate tectonics, consciousness, dark matter
and
chaos theory, and will be suitable for readers of all
backgrounds. |

Two magicians shall
appear in England. The first shall fear me; the second shall
long to
behold me The year is 1806. England is beleaguered by the long
war
with Napoleon, and centuries have passed since practical
magicians
faded into the nation's past. But scholars of this glorious
history
discover that one remains: the reclusive Mr Norrell whose
displays
of magic send a thrill through the country. Proceeding to
London, he
raises a beautiful woman from the dead and summons an army of
ghostly ships to terrify the French. Yet the cautious, fussy
Norrell
is challenged by the emergence of another magician: the
brilliant
novice Jonathan Strange. Young, handsome and daring, Strange is
the
very opposite of Norrell. So begins a dangerous battle between
these
two great men which overwhelms the one between England and
France.
And their own obsessions and secret dabblings with the dark
arts are
going to cause more trouble than they can imagine.

Alina of Azimabad
provides a rare and valuable insight into issues being faced by
women in South Asia. Alina, the character created by the author
tells an extraordinary and remarkable account of her life
spread
over almost half a century. The story starts off in the
aftermath of
the partition of India. It is a saga of the hidden world of
feudalism with its exploitation and degeneration.
The
account
also stresses the point that Pakistan is not inhabited by
fanatics
and is as normal a country as any other.
The author has very
vividly touched upon social problems in his work and has
specifically addressed gender issues. His strength lies in his
ability to express himself with ease. The language he uses is
simple, crisp and endowed with brevity. He has also introduced
several common words of South Asian origin into the English
Language. The narrative is very readable and
interesting. |

father
stands for and now kills heathen for the Inquisition in Rome.
Then
he is summoned by Cardinal Carafa himself. His masters no
longer
merely want his dagger in the hearts of Jews, they want the
hand of
the dead queen. But, only three people know where it is buried,
and
one of them is Gianni's father...

| Chasing
the
Monk's Shadow: A Journey in the
Footsteps of Xuanzang
|
| by: M
ishi
Sran |
|
In the seventh century AD, the Chinese monk
Xuanzang set off on an epic journey to India to study Buddhist
philosophy from the Indian masters. Traveling along the Silk
Road,
braving brigands and blizzards, Xuanzang finally reached India,
where his spiritual quest took him to Buddhist holy places and
monasteries throughout the subcontinent. Fourteen hundred years
later, Mishi Saran follows in Xuanzang's footsteps to the
fabled
oasis cities of China and Central Asia, and the Buddhist sites
and
now-vanished kingdoms in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan that
Xuanzang wrote about. Traveling seamlessly back and forth in
time
between the seventh century and the twenty-first, Saran
uncovers the
past with consummate skill even as she brings alive the present
through her vivid and engaging descriptions of people and
places.
A riveting mix of lively reportage, high adventure,
historical
inquiry and personal memoir, this delightfully written book is
a
path-breaking travelogue. |

With his rare knack
for
making cutting-edge theoretical science effortlessly
accessible,
world-renowned physicist Paul Davies has won a devoted
readership
with his bestselling books The Fifth Miracle, About Time, and
God
and the New Physics. Now Davies tackles an issue that has
intrigued
humankind for centuries-is time travel possible?
The
answer,
insists Davies, is definitely yes-once you iron out a few kinks
in
the space-time continuum. With tongue planted seriously in
cheek,
Davies explains that to visit the future, all you need is a
little
help from gravity and a spaceship that can travel just under
the
speed of light. As for returning to the past, the best bet is
to
find a convenient black hole equipped with a traversible worm
hole-though if you're not careful you may find yourself sucked
into
a one-way journey to nowhere. Finally, having brilliantly laid
the
theoretical foundation, Davies sets out a four-stage process
for
assembling the time machine and getting it to work. He also
addresses the ticklish question of why, if time travel is
really
feasible, we're not swarmed with time tourists visiting us from
the
future. |
